Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 978 The Sky Collapses!
Of course, Lü Yang did not actually spend tens of thousands of years within the web of cause and effect.

He couldn't possibly stay that long. In fact, after only a few years, he began to show signs of losing his way, which shows the mystery of cause and effect.

So after ensuring that the cause and effect of [Yu Zhaolongjun] had been modified, he immediately returned to the mortal world, consumed the last ring of [Shejizhu], and anchored the altered cause and effect completely in the mortal world, which in turn triggered the miraculous resurrection of [Yu Zhaolongjun] after death.

"Incredible."

Lu Yang stretched his limbs, feeling the mystery of cause and effect being recreated, because the [Rain Dragon Lord] who appeared in the present world was no longer just cause and effect.

He truly regained his physical body.

In addition, the cave corresponding to the [Heavenly River Water], the metal nature of Yu Zhaolongjun, and even the bloodline of the true dragon, all the standard features have been restored.

Once this thought was made, Lü Yang had no more hesitation.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the [Heavenly Cover Cleansing Cave], which had only been in his possession for a short time, crashed down and turned into a ball of light as bright as a star.

As for the Supreme Fruit [Heavenly River Water], Lü Yang had no interest in it at all. What he wanted was the Supreme [Great Ocean Water]. [Heavenly River Water] was still too useless. At most, he wouldn't mind collecting a little of Yu Zhaolongjun's metal attribute to see if he could get a useful talent later.

at the same time.

The strange phenomenon of the cave collapsing was instantly sensed by all the immortal beings, those in the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core stages, as well as the high and mighty Dao Lords.

"Um.."

The most surprising thing was the World Honored One. To be honest, the Holy Sect Ancestor's actions in destroying the causal network from 70,000 years ago had made him give up.

However, now, the cause and effect have changed.

His plan had obviously succeeded. The Immortal Lord who controlled the tribulation and karmic transformation actually escaped the purge of the initial saint and successfully triggered the collapse of the Foundation Establishment realm.
'Well done!'

'But how did you do that?'

At this moment, the World Honored One felt not only surprise but also doubt – surprise because the plan had unexpectedly succeeded, and doubt because of the reasons behind it.

Why did it succeed?

Which Dao Lord made a move?
'It's absolutely impossible for that Immortal Lord in charge of tribulations and karma to escape the purge of the First Saints on his own; there must be some Dao Lord secretly helping him.'

who can that be?

Thinking of this, the World Honored One couldn't help but look up at the fourth level of the [Other Shore], or more precisely, at the Sword Pavilion Dao Lord and the Dao Court Dao Lord.

Is it them?

Sword Pavilion Dao Master, Sword Lord.

Daoist Lord of the Dao Court, Cang Hao.

Ordinary people do not understand the secrets between Dao Lords, but the World Honored One knows them all. He knows that these two Dao Lords are not on the same path as others.

Whether it's the Great Net of Cause and Effect or the Underworld, these were all arrangements made by the First Sage, and he was also greatly involved. Therefore, it was always him and the First Sage who were in charge. Sword Lord and Cang Hao didn't really interfere much; at most, they just stood in support of not wanting the Underworld to have a master.

Especially Sword Lord.

The World Honored One's gaze finally settled on the towering sword light on the fourth floor. In truth, he had always harbored some apprehension towards this Dao Lord.

Because, as far as he knew:
'Cang Hao is one thing; he might only be at the fourth level of strength. But Sword Lord is definitely not. He's at the fourth level simply because he doesn't want to go any higher.'

The paths of the Dao Masters are also different.

Some Dao Lords hope to keep moving upwards, while others hope to get closer to the mortal world, but they are forced to move upwards due to the pressure from their competitors.

For a moment, the Buddha's mind was filled with thoughts.

At the same time, the Dao Lords have deduced the source of the changes, and the colors of the light representing them on the Other Shore have also changed accordingly.

Someone has altered cause and effect!

[Was it your doing that the Heavenly River Water Dragon Lord, the World Honored One, suddenly appeared?]

Can it be stopped?

—These are all Lü Yang's own guesses, since he couldn't hear the conversation on the other side, but he estimated that the content shouldn't be too different.

'Only that old codger.'

Lu Yang looked up at the other side, and the scene of the [Heavenly Cover Cleansing Cave] shattering the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and causing the Dao Lords to change color was all reflected in his vision. However, he felt no joy in his heart.

Because the Holy Sect's patriarch, whom he valued most and who should have shown emotional fluctuations due to the collapse of the Foundation Establishment realm, was unsettlingly calm at the moment.

On the sixth level of the Other Shore, the tiny figure whose outline was faintly visible remained as unshakable as a pillar of heaven, coldly and indifferently overlooking the present world, completely unconcerned about the collapse of the Foundation Establishment Realm, showing neither anger nor surprise, as if looking at a toy in the palm of his hand.

This attitude is clearly wrong.

Does he have any other tricks up his sleeve?

This is not surprising. Although the plan to collapse the Foundation Establishment Realm was a carefully arranged scheme by the World Honored One, a result of deceiving everyone, the Holy Sect's patriarch was not one to sit idly by.

but no matter--

'At least let me see your hand!'

With the arrow already on the bowstring, there was no turning back. Lü Yang simply abandoned all thought and changed his hand seals, directly detonating the [Heavenly Cover Cleansing Cave]!
In that instant, the roaring sound disappeared from the heavens and earth.

Da Yin Xisheng.

At the same time, the entire sky above the present world was shattering, and a vast ocean that was previously difficult to see emerged, which then broke into countless bands of light.

The ribbons of light, like a rainbow, descended from the distant heavens to the mortal realm. Countless starlight shattered from each ribbon, crashing into the mortal world from the high place. Before they even made contact with the mortal realm, they exploded with a roar due to the enormous fluctuations in their status, turning into streaks of fire that illuminated the heavens and the earth.

Such scenery can be seen everywhere in the Sea of ​​Light and Darkness.

This is the result of the collapse of the Foundation Establishment Realm. If cultivation is like climbing a high mountain, then the Foundation Establishment Realm is like a resting place built halfway up the mountain.

Many people stop here to rest.

However, one day, this place of rest was suddenly taken away.

So naturally, everyone who stops here will fall to the foot of the mountain, and such a huge fall in status is enough to smash them to pieces!

This was also within the Buddha's expectations. But what would he care if more Foundation Establishment cultivators died?

But at this moment.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the World Honored One let out a soft exclamation, because he discovered that the Foundation Establishment cultivators did not seem to face total annihilation instantly due to the destruction of the Foundation Establishment realm.

Some people survived.

'The Immortal Pivot, the Star Palace, the Heavenly Palace—several super-realms where Foundation Establishment cultivators with a solid foundation for the Dao, though their ranks have fallen, have not perished directly.'

how so?

Such a thought flashed through the Buddha's mind, and then, as if he had thought of something, the originally calm Buddha light once again showed faint ripples.

'It's you again, you demon tamer?'

The first Demon-Taming Peak Master also knew about the flaws in the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Although he failed to persuade the World Honored One to repair the Foundation Establishment Realm 70,000 years ago, and the two parted on bad terms, this does not mean that he did nothing.

Or even just the opposite.

He made the greatest possible compensation.

'Is it the foundation of the Dao?'

The Immortal Pivot, the Heavenly Palace, the Star Palace, or rather, all the foundation-building cultivation methods passed down from ancient times are different, but they all require building a foundation for the Dao.

In contrast, outer realms like the Xuanling Realm, which were established relatively late, do not have the so-called "Dao Foundation." They were also the hardest hit areas for the deaths of True Persons after the collapse of the Foundation Establishment Realm. On the contrary, Foundation Establishment True Persons with "Dao Foundations," although their rank was also falling, had some room for maneuver.

The first Demon-Taming Peak Master seems to have been doing something similar all along.

When the heavens collapsed on the other side, he built the underworld to repair them.

When his Foundation Establishment realm collapsed, he created the Dao Foundation to make up for it.

What's the point?

The Buddha smoothed the ripples of his light, restoring the eternally unchanging coldness: 'Those who willingly fall into depravity and lose their autonomy are ultimately like the moon's reflection in water or a flower in a mirror.'

Why bother taking it to heart?
Don't you understand that this will lead to death?
I understood this principle long ago, which is why I became the Dao Master. You, even in this state, still don't understand. You deserve to die!
